Could Happen
There is more than a little serious talk about a third party now to shake up the mix.

Neither party is seemingly grabbing the gut of the country and the choices aren't enough for some people.
On the one hand, the democratic party is so in bed with the billion dollar industry called Planned Parenthood no criticism is tolerated of the free abortion mess and insane amounts of money are thrown their way while we battle an uncontrollable deficit. Like there's not more worthy things to spend money on.
On the other hand the republican culture war issues eclipse whatever economic and trade policy sense might have existed to an absurdist reductionist level that insults the intelligence of most people.
Santorum's rant that 'whenever we ran a moderate we lost' propels him to absurd fringes of
extremist statements playing to the lowest uncommon denominator. Gingrich searches for
clever ways to express the disaffected alienation of the old guard, and Romney thinks even if money can't buy him love it can rent him the White House for a few years.
The tumble toward the extremes makes a moderate middle something many Americans would find refreshing and a welcome reprise from the food fight.
